Bulgaria has expressed solidarity with Poland following a shooting in Krakow that left six people killed and 16 injured. The Foreign Ministry said there were no reports of Bulgarian nationals being among those injured in the attack.
Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova has sent a letter of condolence to her Polish counterpart, Karol Nawrocki, describing the attack on civilians in Krakow’s central square as an act of violence that could not be justified. She added that Bulgaria condemned the act of aggression and expressed its full support for the efforts of the Polish authorities. “I share the grief of the Polish people and express my sincerest solidarity. No words can comfort the families of the victims at such a moment, but I want you to know that our thoughts and sympathy are with you and everyone affected by this tragedy,” Iotova said.
Prime Minister Rumen Radev extended his condolences to the families and loved one of the victims. In an x.com post, Radev wrote: “My thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy, and I wish the injured a swift and full recovery. Bulgaria stands in solidarity with Poland and the Polish people at this difficult time. We share their grief and reaffirm our unwavering determination to stand against all forms of violence against innocent civilians.”
Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova said Bulgaria stands in solidarity with Poland. She offered her condolences to her Polish counterpart, Radoslaw Sikorski, and to the people of Poland. “Our thoughts are with the families of those killed, and we wish the injured, including the police officers who stopped the attacker, a swift recovery,” Petrova wrote on X.
The attack took place near Krakow’s Main Market Square on Saturday afternoon. Police said the assailant drove his car into the crowd in the square and opened fire indiscriminately at passers-by with a long-barrelled firearm. Six people were killed and 16 injured, including two police officers and the attacker himself. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that three people had been found dead at the assailant’s home. Police later identified them as the assailant’s 53-year-old father, 52-year-old mother and 20-year-old sister.
